1 Samuel 27:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ The length of time that David spent in the territory of the Philistines was a year and four months.

⁸ David and his men would go out and raid the Geshurites, the Girzites,^[a] and the Amalekites—peoples who had been living in the land for a very long time. Their territory extended from the beginning of Shur all the way to the land of Egypt. ⁹ Whenever David attacked a land, he did not leave even one man or woman alive. He would carry off the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he would return and come back to Achish.
